 Rules
-RULE 1: se a negative tag after a positive sentence and a
positive tag after a negative sentence.
e.g. + -

- +
The Earth isn’t as big as the Sun, is it?

- RULE 2: se the same auxiliary or modal verb as it is in the

main sentence.
e.g.
We’ll go out together, won’t we?
Albert can’t play the violin, can he?
-RULE 3: If the main sentence has no auxiliary, use
do, does or did:
e.g.
Asian people like rice, don’t they?
She speaks Russian, doesn’t she?
Jack bought a new car last week, didn’t he?

REMEMBER:
• I am late, aren’t I?
• Let’s go, shall we?
